I've stayed here twice with a third trip booked for a couple weeks from now. I've always had a great time at the Hard Rock. Let's get the obvious out of the way. This hotel is super expensive. Like, really really expensive. For me, it boils down to a matter of convenience. For visiting the parks next door, there is no better place to stay. You're within five minutes from the front gate, and your room key doubles as an unlimited Express Pass. Aside from the convenience, this hotel still has a ton to offer. From the minute you step in the door, you're bombarded with relics of rock and roll history. There is something interesting to look at around every corner. The rooms are stylish and clean. The food and drink is on par (including the high prices). The pool, although lacking a portion with any significant depth, is a great place to relax and recover from three days of walking in the parks.
